Said Leo Hindrey, Edwards’ economic policy adviser, testifying that after Obama won the Iowa caucuses, Edwards ready to give up, wanted Hindery to "to reach out to the Obama campaign and make clear his availability on the ticket" and "We talked about a more elaborate goal of Mr. Edwards, which was to be a Supreme Court justice."

Yeah, Obama's people told him -- 'we know all about your affair. Just shut up and linger in the race' so the anti-Obama vote was split between Hillary and him. He was blackmailed to play the spoiler. Why do you think nobody reported on his affair and even the National Enquirer did it when it was safe and advantageous for Obama?

I am having a hard time thinking of a more loathesome living American politician. Kennedy's passing sure left Edwards pretty high on the "sheer sleaze" scale.

Romney closed an investment bank to find a missing girl. Edwards refused to take cases of kids with MS who died because he couldn't parade a crippled child in front of jurors to have them ignore junk science.

Oh, for the press whiners. Their is a whole network that is explicitly dedicated to Republican Propaganda, oops, I mean news. And an almost astronomical number of radio stations that spew Right Wing propaganda. and of course publishing houses, media empires and newspapers whose only goal is agit-prop for the Right. So enough with the lie of the Liberal Media. It really is insulting to FOX.

Here's what's insulting: this is your response to a post about the disaster that might well have occurred because the LIBERAL MEDIA refused (not "failed," refused) to vet a Democrat[ic] presidential candidate.

"So enough with the lie of the Liberal Media. It really is insulting to FOX."

What lie? Something over 90% of journalists acknowledge that they voted for Obama. There is one major (cable) network (Fox News) with a supposedly conservative bias, and there are many (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, NPR, etc) with a liberal bias. And that's just the "news" outlets.

And while Fox leans right it doesn't pretend that other points of view do not exist like the liberal networks do. It has liberals and conservatives on its panels and it has both liberal and conservative hosts. One of the hosts piped up yesterday (hereinafter Evolution Day) warning that that the Republicans were on the "wrong side of history." Yeah, we're all lovin' that good ol' fashioned Republican propaganda.

A wise red neck from the cotton mill towns of the North Carolina piedmont could have served in place of Sonia Sotomayor. He could have channeled the spirit of Roger Taney and written a great opinion that Bloggers are not citizens of the United States.

Go ahead and list all the non-liberals that NBC regularly puts on the air, and gives their own shows. I'll wait.

And there would be more liberal radio shows; if anyone listened to them. I've tried to listen to some of them on XM -- The Stephanie Miller show, Ed Schultz. They're just horrible radio, they're incompetent.

That's one thing you have to admit about Rush Limbaugh: He's very good at radio.

Then again, I'm not sure why I'm bothering. Anyone who would make the argument that there is no liberal media bias isn't going to make a coherent argument.
